1st of all, hats off to MRC, as always their shipping timeliness is second to none. First looks the plane is beautifull out of the box. I have not flown this plane yet. I will post another review once I have. The reasonf for only 4 stars is some QC issues, and something that could be done better for ease of use.1, Motor was not connected to the ESC.2, Rudder leads were not routed through the fuselage. They were balled up inside the fuselage. It looks as though they were routed correctly at one point due to the paint on the ends. Routing them properly was a PITA.3, The manual (English Version) has incorrect lengths listed for the control rods. After trying to get the flap linkages set up for 45 minutes, I saw that the Chineese instructions had different lengths listed. They wer correct.4, In the product review video they state that there is no delay built into the retract system on the MFB (which I was hoping for). But there is a delay of 3-5 seconds up and down.A few thoghrsA. battery cover / canopy. Make it 4 -6 longer similar to the FW F-22 Raptor. That way it would be easier to access the multi function board without having to remove the battery tray.B, Make the leads on the nav lights on the LEX about 1-2 inches longer so you don't have to over strain the wiring trying to remove the battery tray. Again if bullet A, was incorporated then this would be a non issue.Again, other than these minor issues, the plane is absolutely gorgeous. She looks the part. If she flies half as good as she looks, she will be one awesome addition to my hangar.
